Summer Ready: 14 Day Shred Challenge

I have been working on 2 week shredder that will get you on track and have you looking and feeling great. The main thing is that you have to stick with it. Yes it will be hard, yes you will feel a little off. But remember that is normal.

When you start making changes to your nutrition and fitness, your body is the biggest complainer. Remember it's all in the mind. Tell yourself that you can do this, You will do this, You have to do this.

I welcome you all to give this a try for 2 weeks. Please post your comments below and give feedback. You are my audience and I learn from you as well. Remember I am with you on this one.
